About this file
This Front-End Processing Information Bulletin amends the Front-End Processing Manual to provide supplemental guidance regarding the loading of PET.AUTO documents and associated files into the system. When a request is made to load a PET.AUTO and associated documents, scanning customer support should only process the request if it is accompanied by a corresponding PET.DEC.AUTO and N417 form. If the package is missing either the PET.DEC.AUTO or the N417, scanning customer support should advise the requestor to contact the Electronic Business Center for assistance.
The federal contract opportunity seeks proposals to provide indexing and scanning services, patent data capture and composition, and document management support for the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Key requirements include front-end processing such as indexing and scanning paper documents; pre-grant publication and composition of pending patent applications; post-allowance processing and composition of approved applications; quality control of electronic file wrappers; and post-issuance activities like certificate production and patent grant management. Proposers will convert and compose patent data from various sources to publish applications and issue patents in compliance with statutes and quality standards. The contract will be awarded by the Department of Commerce's US Patent and Trademark Office.
